Planting Onions for the End Times (and other veggies you can store)

March 23, 2020 0 Comments

When the nearby strip malls and shopping plazas are in flames, rioters tearing one another’s hair out and stomping one another to death in the blood-and-covid19-soaked parking lot, my onions will be just about ready to harvest.

Gardening at the End of the World

March 21, 2020 0 Comments

Since fully immersing myself into the gardening hobby — some would say obsession — my primary focus has always been on growing food. Growing lots of stuff to eat. Producing.

Contributed Post More and more of us want less and less to do with a basic garden. We realize in this day and age that land is quickly being used up, so we’ve got to make the best with what we’ve got. Gardens don’t have to be boring and just the stereotypical long and green lawn types. They can be imaginative and offer us a place to come and think in quiet. We need to value more, what our gardens can do for us and achieve in design and style. Maybe you don’t want to create something too complex, you just want a nice place to spend time with your partner or children. Yet the garden should also be something that you can be proud…

October 26, 2018 1 Comment

Contributed Post The Fall rolling in hasn’t stopped people from having cookouts and enjoying those lighter evenings, but as the night draws in earlier and people are feeling the chill in the air more and more, it’s time to think about preparing the house – and the garden – for the frost ahead. Winter preparation for a house is pretty straightforward, because mostly it’s insulating the rooms and ensuring you’ve brought out the heavier winter drapes and adding the rugs to the hard floors. Your home is supposed to keep you feeling cosy and comfortable, even when a gale is blowing outside. The question is really about what you should be doing with your garden space, and how you can make sure that’ it’s protected….
